Performative.

Is it performative, or are they outdoing you? I work out of my gym every single day. They have a great workspace. I'll just sit in the cafe, bring my laptop, and get my things done. There's a man sitting across from me. He's also working on his laptop, but his laptop is mounted on a stand. He has a detachable keyboard and an ergonomic mouse. Now, basically, he's shitting on me, but I can admit when I'm being outdone. I never hate the player, I hate the game. I asked him, I said, can you walk me through your setup here? Can you show me what you got going on? Like, what do I not understand about this? He's, oh, yeah. The stand is great because it brings the laptop up to eye level, so I don't have to always be, like, you know, looking down. The mouse is amazing for my wrist, so it doesn't get tired. Of course. That the keyboard just gives me more space. I'm like, okay, cool. I go on Amazon, I order the detachable keyboard, the ergonomic mouse, and the laptop stand. I use all three of them today for the very first time. I will never go back. I will never travel a. If my laptop is coming with me, this is coming with me. This is now part of the laptop setup. This is now part of my work from home, but I'm never actually at home setup. This was so effective. So efficient. And he's right. My wrist felt amazing. I didn't even know I had wrist problems before this. I even know the risk problems exist until you point them out. I'm like, actually, you make a point. I'm at eye level. I have more space in my call. I push the laptop away. I bet on my PC. I just turned this regular table into an office. This is my. This is my headquarters now until I leave. Sometimes it's not performative. You're being outdone.
